3 Robbie Williams He may be annoying, his records may be hopeless, but Robbie Williams’s love of Port Vale is wholly admirable. His mother owned the Red Lion pub next to the training ground while he was growing up; the players gave him free tickets, and, no mean footballer himself, he was hooked. “I would dream of running down the wing and putting the goal in the net at Vale Park,” he says. “I still have that dream now.” Curiously, despite still being a regular, he has apparently spurned all entreaties to invest in the club. In 2003 Vale were forced to deny that their most famous supporter was behind what they described as a “substantial and serious bid to take control and invest” in the ailing club. Williams, who became famous singing with Take That before enjoying solo success with the likes of Let Me Entertain You and Angels and teaming up with Nicole Kidman for Something Stupid, did, however, splash out on a private box at Chelsea.
